I am a newbie switching from Windows 7, and I prefer to organize my documents into folders rather than just store on the desktop or just haphazardly in "Documents". How do I make document folders and subfolders in OS X El Capitan and then store my documents in the appropriate folders? Thank you.

How do I set up different file folders in documents? I seem to be having trouble doing this -- I like things organizing with folders and sub-folders.
OBTW thank you so much for your prompt answer!

First, enter the Documents folder since this is the main location for documents of all kinds. For each empty folder you wish to make press COMMND-SHIFT-N. This will create an empty folder named "untitled folder." The next one will be "untitled folder 2," etc. You can then rename each folder as you use it.
The following should help in adapting to the Mac.

Kappy, thank you so much! You've answered my questions and even more that I had. I've just been stumbling around using a hit or miss approach to apply MS Windows techniques, but these tutorials were just what I was looking for. They are not readily "findable" in the Apple Support home page. Thanks, again!
